the binary-only package sys-auth/tfm-fingerprint provides a driver for 
fingerprint scanners found in many laptops.  fortunately there is an 
open-source equivalent that replaces this and doesnt require the craptastic 
bioapi framework: sys-auth/thinkfinger

i just scrubbed bioapi/tfm-fingerprint on my Dell and replaced it with 
thinkfinger and its setup was a crap ton nicer.

so unless there's a reason to keep this, i'd just as soon punt it.
